Chicken Pot Pie
Yield: 8
Ingredients
- 1 lb bacon, sliced
- 2 - 3 tablespoons bacon grease
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 medium carrots, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 3 tsp Better Than Bouillon Chicken Bouillon
- 2 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoons salt (adjust to taste)
- 3 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed and cut into squares
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, reserving 2-3 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the pan.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the bacon grease and sauté until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the diced carrots and cook until tender (about 7-10 minutes).
- Stir in the flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve the Better Than Bouillon in 2 cups of hot water.
- Slowly whisk the chicken stock to the skillet, along with the heavy cream, whisking constantly. Let the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly.
- Add thyme, rosemary, bacon, chicken, and peas. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for a few minutes, then remove from heat.
- Pour the filling into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Layer the puff pastry squares on top of the filling, slightly overlapping them.
- Brush the puff pastry with a beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake the pot pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and crispy.
- Let it cool slightly before serving.
